Education Rooms

Wakefield Exchange hosts three learning spaces on the mezzanine floor tucked away from the hustle and bustle of The Shed and our food and beverage offering.

With lift and staircase access and flexible room set ups, these spaces are perfect for the delivery of smaller conferences or education-based events and workshops.

Our individual learning spaces, carefully curated to promote focus and creativity, have the potential to merge into expansive, collaborative environments.

By simply opening moveable walls, we can breathe new life into these areas, transforming them into larger rooms that teem with energy and ideas.
